36 Clean Face See-Through and 36 Clean Face Pier Fireplaces

Now Available

We are especially pleased to announce the release of two spectacular new fireplaces, the 36 CF See-Through™ and the 36 CF Pier™. These latest additions to the growing line of Fireplace Xtrordinair clean face fireplaces, the See-Through and the Pier allow you architecturally significant, 2-sided and 3-sided fireplaces to enhance the character of their living spaces.

These fireplaces are intended to both separate and unite adjacent living areas with the beauty and warmth of fire. The opportunities to utilize these products in a home are many. Separating a living room from a dining room is probably the most common application, but why not place a see-through fireplace between master bedroom and private bath? Or between an entry hall and a dining room? The pier unit would be a delight if placed between a kitchen and family room, where you want a bit of separation, but still accommodate access to the view of the fire from many points in this busy area.

The fire featured in these two models is truly the best in the market. The dancing yellow flames interact with a remarkably realistic 7-piece driftwood log set. The 58,000 Btu burner has a great turn-down ratio to 27,000 Btu's on low, providing a warm, glowing ember bed just right for contemplative moments. Flame height levels, burner on/off and thermostat settings are controlled with our Alpha™ Control compact remote handset. Accent lights are a standard feature in both fireplaces, and the 2 lights in the ceiling of the fireplace shine down on the logs for a great presentation. The lights, also controlled with the remote handset, can be turned on or off and adjusted to three levels of illumination to suit the mood. A selection of three optional andirons is available. Firebacks are required, and we offer Straight Brick reversible to Herringbone, Diamond Mosaic reversible to Stucco, and sleek Brushed Stainless Steel. One or two Power Heat Duct Kits may be installed with these fireplaces to capture heat from the sealed heat collection plenum and transfer it to adjacent spaces.

Both units are bedroom & mobile home approved and vent on the back side at 45 degrees to make an easy transition to either horizontal or vertical flue.

FPX 564 Space Saver IPI Gas Fireplace

The 564 SS (Space Saver) IPI is Fireplace Xtrordinair's newest gas fireplace. With the combination of convective heat, radiant heat and reduced depth dimension the unit is ideal for zone heating in bedrooms, dens and intimate spaces. The fireplace features 564 square inches of high quality, high clarity, tempered glass with a removable safety screen.

The realistic "wood like" flame, along with the heat output can be controlled by the convenient Comfort Control gas valve. The Comfort Control feature allows you to turn off part of the burner with the push of the button to really turn down the heat while maintaining the fire and glowing embers. This allows you to comfortably be able to use your fireplace year around. And now the 564 SS IPI come standard with the very popular accent light for an added glow when the fireplace is on or off really showcasing the fireplace in every setting.

The new Intermittent Pilot Ignition (IPI) allows you to run your fireplace in either standing pilot mode - where the pilot flame stays on which is ideal in really cold climates where it is important to maintain a draft for proper operation, or in the electronic ignition mode (IPI), where your pilot flame goes out when you turn off your fireplace saving you precious fuel and money. This makes the 564 SS IPI the most "Green" fireplace you can own.

The 564 SS IPI gas fireplace allows you the option of adding the revolutionary "GreenSmart" modulating remote control. This "ultimate" hands free control gives you the ability to control virtually every function of the fireplace from the comfort of your couch. You control the flame and heat output manually, run the fireplace on thermostat mode or set your fireplace to the"Smart" mode. The "Smart" mode automatically modulates the fire and heat up and down to maintain the beauty of the fire and room temperature. Most fireplaces only have the ability to turn the flame on and off trying to maintain the room temperature with the "Smart" mode your room will stay at a more constant temperature and you will be able to enjoy the beauty of the fire longer using the same amount or less fuel.

The 564 SS can be personalized for each room or home décor. Choose from something as simple as the basic grill to eleven different face options in various textures and rich colors. Multiple firebacks are available in reversible ceramic brick, tile or stucco designs, or for a more contemporary look ,with stainless steel liner. Complete the interior transformation with one of the three beautiful andirons adding even more realism to your gas fireplace. Finally complete your installation by adding a quiet convection blower that is ideal for circulating the fireplace warmth quickly and evenly throughout the room increasing the overall efficiency of the fireplace.

DVL Insert, Double Door Architectural Faces

FPX believes design and style are every bit as important as efficiency and durability. Our new line of double door faces for our gas fireplace inserts eliminates the drab, black surround panels most people associate with a fireplace insert. The double doors, which open to reveal an unobstructed view of the fire, cover the fireplace opening. This new concept is available in two sizes (large or small), and covers the majority of fireplaces. We also offer two choices in shape (arch or rectangular), four choices in design (Basic, Artisan, Classic or Arts & Crafts) and four choices of colors (black, or accent the doors with bronze, antique nickel and antique copper onlays). The lively bright flames, luxuriant heat and comforting dependability (our gas inserts continue working when the power goes out) are a few more compelling reasons to convert your drafty, inefficient wood fireplace into a warm, inviting comfort zone.
